- sinemetu11 12y agoAre there any good blog posts on selling https everywhere to the business folks? I'm an engineer and would like to see the product I work on have HTTPS everywhere but I'm not sure of the ways in which I could convince people to support it.

- quaffapint 12y agoI don't think it's as much the cost as it is the technical difficulty to install and maintain certs.
- yawboakye 12y agoIt should be as easy as installing WordPress, yes. That should be the ultimate goal of the whole discipline of encryption and security: orders of magnitude easy-to-use. SSLmate's[1] `sslmate buy www.example.com` does everything (private key, CSR generation, cert signing) but installation. It automatically maintains the certs too. It's currently a commandline tool.
